Description

Empires of Light: Vision, Visibility and Power in Colonial India examines the complex role of light in imperial optics through a study of nineteenth-century Indian visual practices. Published by Manchester University Press as part of the Rethinking Art's Histories series, this work expands on Edmund Burke's metaphor of a conquering empire of light and vision. Rather than treating light as a simple symbol of knowledge or progress, this book explores how light functioned within the visual politics and imaginative geographies of empire. It investigates how geographical spaces were mapped through concepts like cities of light, providing a deep look at the connection between light, vision, and power during the colonial era in India.
